A speculative list of Animation vs. Minecraft block staff effects

Jump to main contents

This page lists all speculated effects that emerge when using various Minecraft blocks in the Staff. If you have any questions or suggestions for these entries, feel free to contact Oinite12 (page author) anytime! Particularly, there is a list of unlisted blocks at the bottom of the page; any suggestions for those would be greatly appreciated. (You will be credited accordingly.)

NOTE: That this is a fan document that is highly speculative; not all content here is considered canon; in fact, assume everything is noncanon unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Pre-note: General foci property

It is safe to assume that all foci have the ability to place themselves when slotted into the staff.

Pre-note: Logs

All logs are associated with a “woodset”, a family of blocks that are themed around a type of wood. Minecraft has the following woodsets:

For this document, woodsets include the following blocks*:

*They usually also include leaves and saplings, but they have their own functionality since they’re not necessarily made of wood.

Bamboo requires additional clarification due to its odd nature as an “artificial woodset”; the “log”, Block of Bamboo, is crafted with 9 bamboo. There is no wood. The Bamboo woodset also consists of the Bamboo Mosaic [+Stairs, Slab].

Additionally, the Mangrove woodset includes Mangrove Roots and Muddy Mangrove Roots.

Pre-note: Stones

All stone-like blocks are associated with a “stoneset”, a family of blocks that are themed around a type of stone-like material (super loose term). Minecraft has the following stonesets:
